Those of us who can't stay awake until midnight can join the Missouri History Museum for a New Year's Eve countdown and balloon drop when the clock strikes noon! Visitors can enjoy live music, making crafts and a numbers scavenger hunt. A special, super-sized New Year - themed story time comes next, when you'll learn about New Year's Eve food traditions like Hoppin' John and Lunar New Year dumplings.
The Noon Year's Eve Celebration at the Missouri History Museum is free and part of Winter Getaway at the museum. Reservations are not required.
December 31, 2023 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
